Arguably the most famous art deco statue in Nigeria, this art statue "welcome" you to Lagos, anytime, any day and any moment. It was built by Biodun Shodeinde in 1991

I doubt if the above sculptor designed the three wise men because, that work was contracted to Kenny Adamson the great sculptor of our time by the then lagos governor through Julius Berger.

Thanks for pointing my attention to that. However, based on far more reliable references, I'd settle with my earlier stance that the sculptor of the statue was Biodun Shodeinde.

So in which year was it constructed?

Phagyrhe:
2. Third Mainland Bridge

Do you know the official name of third mainland bridge? I bet many of you do not know it...lol. It is officially known as Ibrahim Babangida bridge. This particular bridge is the king of all bridges in Nigeria. When you talk about Lagos, you talk about this bridge. It is a vehicular bridge that link Lagos Island to the city mainland and was constructed by Julius Berger. The third mainland bridge, which is about 11.8km long, is the longest bridge in Nigeria and it is one of the three bridges linking the city. It took over 11 years to finish construction. The total cost of the bridge is unknown.

For six years, 1990-1996, third mainland bridge was the longest bridge in Africa. It was dethroned as king of Africa's bridges by the 22km long "6th October bridge" in Cairo, Egypt.

Construction started in 1979 during Shagari regime. It took 11 years to complete. It was completed by Ibrahim Babangida in 1990 and was commissioned the same year. I hope you are satisfied with the response?

3. Oshodi Inter Exchange Bridge (Oshodi Bridge)

I bet you are so shock to see this structure on the list, well, don't be. I included it because it defines how busy the city of Lagos is. This inter exchange bridge, otherwise known as Oshodi bridge is so popular among Lagosians that over seven million of them use it daily, making it the busiest inter exchange bridge in West Africa - Murtala Muhammed airport don't have this much people patronising it. Its popularity level is so high that CNN ace presenter/reporter, Richard Quest, had to do a report about it.
oga u did not put the date it was constructed
